<p>After you select a dimension, you can filter to narrow your results.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>In DMI, on the <strong>Data</strong> tab of the report section you are editing, click <strong>Dimensions</strong> to display the <strong>Selected dimensions</strong> list.<br>
If there is a limited, well-defined set of possible values for a dimension, the filter icon (<img src="https://dt-cdn.net/images/filter-icon-16-62174216ca.png" alt="Filter icon">) is displayed for that dimension.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Click the filter icon for the dimension you want to filter on.<br>
<img src="https://dt-cdn.net/images/image2017-3-7-103424-860-6f465bcdba.png" alt="Filter icon"><br>
This opens the <strong>Dimension Filter</strong> window for the selected dimension.<br>
<img src="https://dt-cdn.net/images/image2017-3-7-103658-825-9b8ce0cfa0.png" alt="Dimension filter window"><br>
The selected dimension (in this case, <strong>Client region</strong>) is listed in the <strong>Available Filters</strong> pane on the left side.</p>
<ul>
<li>To include a dimension (filter) value, select that value in <strong>Available filters</strong> and click the <strong>&gt;&gt;</strong> button to copy it to the <strong>Selected filters</strong>.</li>
<li>To remove a dimension value, select that value in <strong>Selected filters</strong> and click the <strong>&lt;&lt;</strong> button.</li>
<li>If the number of filter values of the dimension is greater than 50, only the first 50 values are shown. More values can be downloaded on request.</li>
<li>To narrow the list of values in <strong>Available Filters</strong>, type a search string (including wildcards) in <strong>Pattern</strong> and click <strong>Set</strong>. To clear the pattern selection, click <strong>Reset</strong>.</li>
<li>Select <strong>Negate Condition</strong> to add a logical NOT to the expression.</li>
</ul>
<p>Note: For IP addresses, you cannot use wildcards within a part of the address. For example, you can use <strong><code>10.10.*</code></strong> but not <strong><code>10.1*.10</code></strong>. If you type an incorrect pattern, the following message is displayed: <code>&#x201C;[No elements available]&#x201D;</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>To save your dimension filter, click <strong>OK</strong>. The filter you defined in the <strong>Dimension Filter</strong> window is displayed in the filter box for that dimension. If you need to adjust it, you can edit it directly in the filter box or click the filter icon again to edit it in the <strong>Dimension Filter</strong> window.</p>
</li>
</ol>

<p>Set <strong>Filter Display</strong> to determine where the filter is displayed on the report.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Report header</strong> shows it under the report name<br>

<img src="https://dt-cdn.net/images/image2017-3-7-13451-368-8581acba23.png" alt="Section filter display"></li>
<li><strong>Hidden</strong> means the filter is not displayed on the report.<br>

</span></h2>
<p>In the <strong>Filter Mode</strong> column, you specify the filter behavior on the report. Select one of the following options:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Read write</strong><br>
<img src="https://dt-cdn.net/images/image2017-3-7-134930-155-f1e53de3f4.png" alt="read write mode"><br>
In this filter mode, you can remove the filter directly from the report (click the <img src="https://dt-cdn.net/images/dmi-delete-section-12-c61848c00a.png" alt="Delete icon"> icon beside the filter name) when you are viewing it, and the dimension filter can be overwritten when you drill down to the report from another report or if you publish other filters as a result of a publishing action.</li>
<li><strong>Read only</strong><br>
<img src="https://dt-cdn.net/images/image2017-3-7-135039-142-dfe730c877.png" alt="read only mode"><br>
In this filter mode, the dimension filter can be overwritten in the same way as in the <strong>Read write</strong> mode, but it cannot be removed directly from the displayed report.</li>
<li><strong>Fixed</strong><br>
<img src="https://dt-cdn.net/images/image2017-3-7-135039-142-dfe730c877.png" alt="fixed mode"><br>
In this filter mode, the dimension filter cannot be overwritten or removed from the report. The filter is always set to the value defined in the <strong>Filters</strong> field on the <strong>Data</strong> tab.</li>
</ul>
